Its a Friday morning, 9.10 as I write and watching pre-practice one, online at home. I'm working though, working from home! I have a few blogs to update ready for the weekend, that just means checking links and writing a short post on topic, to update the blog. (A little like I'm doing here)!

My F1 blog is pure self-indulgence for me, since I am not into following the crowd and agreeing with the commentators. My comments here are usually my own thoughts on what I perceive is going on. Most of the time I have nothing to say, because the race is just pure entertainment for me.

I read a few F1 blogs, but not many, and they all seem to be running the same rehashed stories. I prefer just to make my own observations. Anyway, I just had a call from a friend who gets my Twitters on his phone. He just wanted to ask me if I'd help him, get to the same point I am, where I don't have to work for a boss. I'm self-employed and work from home, and can find the time to make a little money doing the things I like and love, rather than working for a boss at a job I hate.

It's 9.20 and my coffee has just arrived, courtesy of my wife. So, if you would like to have a bit more time and financial freedom, then you need to do as I do and get the secrets to living your life as you really want. You can do it, I know you can, its has been proved too many times by many others who have gone before you, that it is possible. If others have done it, you can too. Look for the secret somewhere on this F1 blog!

Now I'm going to concentrate on the F1 practice session, but I just wanted to have this last little chat with you about how to get your freedom! Since we are at the last race! It's 9.26am did you see how long that took, no time at all really! Come and join me, you can learn whilst you earn, and start blogging on subjects you like and live the life-style you want. Andy..

Pre-Race Comment..
Wow! Lets hope the race is as exciting as the Qualifying. Especially in Q3, one after another, each driver had a chance for pole position. The man to watch is Hulkenberg, getting pole twice and what about Schuey out-driving his team mate Rosberg.

Congrats to Hulkenberg first time on pole I think! Despite all the media comments that if it hadn't been for Rubens decision to go to dry tyres and Nico having to follow at team directors orders, that he wouldn't be on pole? Look!- Hulkenberg still had to drive the damn car!

I am the first to admit that F1 races can be a little processional at times, we need more variety, more manufacturers, more tyre manufacturers, more tracks. I wish they would bring back refueling for a start!

As you can see, I am not one to comment unless I am really impressed!

-----------------------------
My comments already? (And its not even the end of practice one yet)!
Just heard BBC commentator during start of Practice 1, admit (like I've previously said), that the media often drives the silly comments that drivers make.

I'm of-course referring to times like:- when the BBC team put words into Rubens Barrichello's mouth, by asking him under pressure, when he hadn't had time to think through his position and answer... 'Was that the most dangerous move you've ever had put on you in F1' or words to that effect.

They were referring to Barrichello's overtaking of Schumacher, where reporters alleged that schuey tried to run Barrichello into the wall at the end of the pit-straight.

Covered F1 Track by F1 Sponsors

Covered F1 Track by F1 Sponsors

After the rain off fiasco's of a start under safety car due to rain or total regular wash outs at tracks in Europe and Malaysia etc; I think its about time that race circuits themselves should start a new program of getting the race circuits under cover! 


This does not mean the track won't get wet if it is done right! First there could be computer controlled glazing panels that could be opened and closed electrically, controlled by the race directors, to actually allow a certain amount of rain to land on the track. Its not hard to do or measure!

I have a green house with automatic sensing of conditions and automatic control of roofing ventilation and rain panels. (Even the rain is collected and fed to an automatic watering system)!

This could be modified to work for F1 tracks to avoid deadly wet conditions - thus saving lives and reducing accident repair costs to F1 teams and circuits caused by crashes, otherwise avoidable, that are caused by conditions being too wet!

Additionally, this idea would improve cash flow for the race circuits themselves, via getting the rain canopy over the track, to be paid for by F1 sponsors.

Even dog-track style - overhead pit-lane style CCTV cameras could be could be mounted in the underside of an apex type roofing construction, to improve the race TV coverage. We could even have 24 (or more) cameras, that will follow each car round the whole circuit!

What do you think? Is this a reasonable and logical idea? Please comment!

Race. 

Idea for covered F1 track, paid for by f1 sponsors!
This would stop fiasco's like today's race and Qualifying sessions like we had in Japan!
Click here to read more and please comment on what you think!

The Japanese qualifying and race start grid ruined due to rain!
Click here to read about the Japanese Qualifying fiasco due to rain!
Yes, its good that we have rain to give us more unpredictable races, but not at the massive danger and cost to life and limb, not to mention miserable crowds who will be dissuaded from attending future F1 venues. This covered track (and weather proofing covered audience seating and viewing areas, could improve attendance at F1 venues and therefore improve income for the F1 circuits!

*****************************

Today's race reminds me why I prefer to watch at home, in the warmth and comfort of my office sitting room. I have a prime VIP reserved seat! No driving or parking hassle, no travel or air-fares, no track tickets to buy, no-hotel expenses, no track-side extortionate food and drink expenses and .... I'm dry! Look at that F1 track side audience, don't they all look miserable!

F1 2010 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX SUZUKA

JAPANESE GRAND PRIX

Venue: Suzuka.
Date: Sunday 10 October.
Lap length: 3.608 miles.
Race laps: 53.
2009 winner: Sebastian Vettel. (Red Bull).
First grand prix: 1987.

Suzuka F1 Race Summary 10/10/10.
Driver-of-the-race for this F1 fan is Lewis Hamilton, for hanging in there through taking a 5 position setback due to having to change a gearbox, then still fighting through loosing gears towards the end of the race; Only having 4th through to 7th gears, with the car making noises at every gear-change, Lewis must have been thinking 'at any moment the car could lock up with a seized gearbox'. If you need an example of how to just keep pushing and never giving up, then this is it!

Wow! What a team Red Bull is. You've got to remember, that from a company background point of view, Red Bull is an Energy Drinks Company, beating the likes of dedicated motor companies like McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault, Williams, Sauber, Lotus, et al at their own game!

Singapore Race Result.

Qualifying

The new chicane is too steep!
I can understand the desire to make the track more interesting, but that chicane is going to cause serious injury and / or damage to cars. Obviously not designed by an F1 race-driver, probably designed by some pen pusher, with no knowledge of driving an F1 car.
